I have always loved the “old school” hairstyles and as a retired cosmetologist it makes me appreciate that some of the looks are coming back(:
Jen always has great looking hair, I am pretty sure if she were bald, she would still be gorgeous!Chacoy recently posted..Manic Music Monday

I wanted Jennifer Anniston’s Haircut and my stylish said it wouldn’t be a good look for me with my face shape. Of course, everyone else had the exact same hairstyle so I could dare to be different. 🙂Pam recently posted..Showing My Style with a Free Country Jacket

Loved all the hair except for Anistons… she ALWAYS has the same hair in everything she does and it’s definitely help solidify her image in the media…. but it makes her seem sort of boring I think. Best one was Brooks, love how the old pin up always stays in style.Jamie Shears recently posted..Shears and Clippers of Quality
